SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The rover automates end-to-end task execution for development and documentation work when the operator cannot or should not make every decision, reducing round-trip delays and ensuring deliverables meet predefined Done criteria before handoff.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous phase machine that cycles through SURVEY, DRIVE, INSPECT, STOW, and STANDBY to plan, implement, review, and finalize work without constant human prompts.
  • Decision and audit infrastructure: invokes a decision subsystem for choices, writes a decision audit trail, and requires a contrarian "pride" review as a hard gate before any artefact leaves the loop.
  • Cron-driven loop file logging and recovery: creates and maintains a loop file in .autonomous/, schedules a cron for iterative execution, and supports wake/stop controls and optional integrations like notifiers or review bots.

Quick Start

Invoke the rover with a mission description, a GitHub issue URL, or a loop file path, for example: /autonomous:rover "build the settings page".

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code review and task execution for GitHub issues without manual prompts?▼

Autonomous task execution is handled by dispatching an agent to run SURVEY, DRIVE, INSPECT, STOW, and STANDBY cycles on a developer mission. You provide a mission brief via free-form text, a GitHub issue URL, or a loop file, and the agent independently plans, executes, and logs the work.

What is an autonomous coding agent loop and how does it ensure quality before handoff?▼

An autonomous coding agent loop cycles through planning and execution phases to complete development tasks independently. It ensures quality by applying plan-vs-dispatch checks, maintaining a decision audit trail, and requiring a contrarian pride review gate before any artifact leaves the loop.

How do I schedule recurring autonomous development tasks using cron?▼

Recurring autonomous development tasks are scheduled using cron-driven iteration. The agent creates and maintains a loop file in the .autonomous/ directory, schedules a cron job for iterative execution, and supports wake and stop controls for continuous task processing.

Can I use autonomous code generation for documentation workflows as well as code?▼

Autonomous code generation applies to both code and documentation workflows. The operator provides a mission brief, and the agent autonomously executes the required planning, implementation, and audit logging to meet predefined Done criteria before handoff.

What happens if an autonomous agent makes a bad decision during task execution?▼

Bad decisions during task execution are mitigated by a decision subsystem that writes an audit trail for every choice. The agent also enforces a contrarian pride review as a hard gate, ensuring deliverables are verified against plan-vs-dispatch checks before finalizing.

Do I need external dependencies to run an autonomous rover loop for developer tasks?▼

No external dependencies are required to run an autonomous rover loop for developer tasks. The agent operates independently, managing its own loop file logging and cron-driven iteration to deliver verified work based on the provided mission brief.
